What are the Dredge?

Urgot's VO mentions the Dredge several times. I assume this is Urgot's faction of anarchists?

Sounds more like the name of the place he was sent to work as a slave.

Correct! It's the prison he was thrown in to.

Fantasy worlds sure do like to use "The _____" when it comes to naming things.

To be fair, so does the real world. Go look up how many cities/locations in their original language just meant "the place by the lake" or "the big river" or "the desert."

A good fantasy world should have a fair mix (in my opinion) of "The X" names and nonsense syllables to create the illusion of language. Unless you're Tolkien. Then you actually create the damn languages.

Here you go.

"Once a powerful Noxian headsman, Urgot was betrayed by the empire for which he had killed so many. Bound in iron chains,** he was forced to learn the true meaning of strength in the Dredge — a prison mine deep beneath Zaun.** Emerging in a disaster that spread chaos throughout the city, he now casts an imposing shadow over its criminal underworld. Raising his victims on the very chains that once enslaved him, he will purge his new home of the unworthy, making it a crucible of pain."

Where'd you get that? It's similar to what was on his reveal page but a lot more detailed.
